Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 747. vishuDdhimaDhigacChathi jwalanasangamAth kAnchanam vidhanthi cha jaganthi thanna Khalu thadhviparyasyathi kaTham kanakapAdhukE! kamalalOchanE sAkshiNi thvayaIva parishuDdhathA huthaBhujOpi jAGatyathE Oh Gold Paaduka! Gold is freed of baser materials by fire-treatment. This is known to all and there can be no reversal of this; but then how is it even Agni Deva has to bear You and thereby, acquire a purity-this when the Supreme Lors is observing it as a witness! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 747 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Golden PaadhukE! It is well known that gold loses its dross and becomes pure , when it joins fire. It is also known that gold does not purify the fire. Be that as it may , You purified Agni as Lord KrishNa was watching You at the time of the burning of the KaaNdava forest. 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:When gold has admixture with " dirt " due to association with lower metals such as silver or copper, it is treated in fire to get rid of the latter and thereby restore the pristinne purity of Gold. Only fire can do this purification.Even that fire (Agni) is purified by You.When Agni devan adorns You on His siras, he is rid of all dhOshams. 3) Oh Golden PaadhukE(hE Kanaka PaadhukE)! Gold gets rid of any admixture with lower metals through exposure to fire ( Kaanchanam jvalana sangamAth visuddhim adhigacchathi). The entire world knows about this phenomenon ( Tath jaganthi vidhanthi).It is a wonder that You remove the blemishes of even Agni as Your Lord watches this transformation of Agni as a silent witness( Kamala lOchanE saakshiNi kaTam HuthabhujOpi Thvayaiva parisuddhathA jAgaDyathE?)..(V.S).
